I didn't do it. I chickened out.
Fasting raises my heart rate. Not sleeping did raise it too. ODing on caffeine raises it as well. I decided that combining the three is a sure way to kick the bucket

Update on my shitty manager.

He's been in HR training and leaving me the fuck alone. So it's a win so far.

Sigh stuck again

Day -3

A wise man once said

"No I insist after you "

the dark age?

more like the privacy age!

Every ticket I work on involves some nebulous, undocumented BS nobody can satisfactorily explain. And worse, even if it’s something I’ve already worked with before, it’s almost invariably different from the last time I saw it, so it’s still nebulous BS. It’s like I’m walking through Steven King’s Mist, except the bugs are more metaphorical.

Everything is spec’d out, except for the views, and half of the logic. But the rest is still technically covered because tests indirectly call the code, so that means it won’t crash right? 😅 Also, the tests that are there are also fucking nebulous, such as calling helper methods that are heavily abstracted, or that are written to test completely different things but kinda sorta work for this too if you set things up just right.

I’m going insane.

"FUCK YOU I DONT WANT TO GO IN THERE!"

I want to open a private rehab where I would delete your social media accounts, take your phone/laptop/internet access away, get you treated by a psychiatrist, make you take your pills on time every time, make you work, then spend your free time on quality things like reading books or making art, or exercising, or just sleeping, and when you disobey and say this and that — I'll beat you with a fucking whip. Oh, and you'll have a normal balanced diet with no junk food, sugar or sweeteners.
I swear to god that 90% of people's problems are solved by therapy followed by cattle prodding.
